A method is described for comparing the sensitivity of two hydrophones over the frequency range 1–15 MHz. This technique forms the basis for the dissemination of national ultrasonic standards in the U.K. over this frequency range. A reference hydrophone is placed in an ultrasonic field and then the device being calibrated is substituted and the two output voltages are compared. This substitution method utilizes a broadband ultrasonic field produced by nonlinear propagation. Thus it is possible to cover the whole frequency range with a single measurement on each hydrophone. The overall uncertainty in the intercomparison of two hydrophones increases from ±4.2% at 1 MHz to ±8.2% at 15 MHz (95% confidence level). The method has been compared with discrete-frequency substitution, time-delay spectrometry, and absolute calibrations using the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) primary standard laser interferometer. Various designs and sizes of hydrophones were compared, and agreement was within the combined random uncertainties for all the comparisons.
